Yea if you’re logged in to lemmy-ui and then photon is put on the domain of lemmy-ui then it will see the leftover cookie and create a photon account
you have to enable it manually, though

May I ask what’s “clunky” about Photon?
If you want to use an account that’s not on lemmy.world, you can’t do that on Lemmy.world’s instance. The official alexandrite instance let’s you use any instance.
update: in v1.20.0, i’ve added an explicit guest button which should make it more obvious when you’re a guest:
I’ll make it more obvious if you’re using a guest account later today. (I’ll add a “guest” option and show that as selected if you’re not active in a user account)
That’s a good question you have, and a bad design on my part.
(you can also view all the accounts you have from the accounts page)
Your account isn’t active. Click your account on the sidebar to use it.
Disable dark reader on sites that already support dark theme, as it ruins the colors.
Videos aren’t played inline for reasons I’ll make a sticky about in the photon community.
However, when you open a post page, it’ll play a video if it detects it.
I’m not stopping anytime soon!
Don’t worry about being offensive, I was just wondering if there was something I was missing. Thanks for the feedback! I’ll look into it.
What features is Photon missing? It has feature parity with the official UI.
Correct. It is possible to self host it though, so you can have ultimate trust in one you compile yourself after reading the source code if you go long distances for that.
Even if we logged all requests (we don’t) we could publish a version that did and the ones on lemmy.world and stuff would be vulnerable immediately.
Requests are not proxied (except image uploads due to a CORS issue)
You can tell in the network tab that requests are made directly to the API.
My post was sarcastic, don’t worry
Boost is quite a good client.
photon is an obvious 3-day hack? ☹️
